Annapurna Sanctuary Trekking

How this holiday makes a difference

On this trip, we use a Nepalese trek guide familiar with and knowledgeable about local culture. Our staff are Nepalase (porters, cooks, camp staff etc), and we stay in small, privately owned tea houses/lodges and purchase food locally.

All garbage is removed or buried/burned as appropriate & kerosene is used for cooking when camping. Guests and staff are strongly encouraged to refill water bottles from boiled water and Responsible Tourism guidelines are distributed to all travellers.

Project Support: We have been providing financial assistance to the management of a Panchakanya high school in a remote rural are of Nuwakot district. For the past few years we have renovated 2 rooms, set up a science laboratory room, built a toilet for the students, distributed reference books and stationery to grade IX and X students. We have also provided salaries to two teachers.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


The whole trek and experience before and after was fantastic but if I had to choose...ABC camp - traditional 'courting' song by the porters and everyone including guides and tourists joining in. Also a quick view of the mountains in the middle of the night by moonlight - unfortunately the weather was not great for the second half of the holiday so we did not really see a lot of the views we should have done.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


Go with a local company as we did.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


Yes, although I think some of the guest houses we stayed in did use wood fires which are not as environmentally friendly as the solar powered ones.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


Excellent - the guide and porter were excellent. Shame about the freak weather (not even the end of the monsoon - just continuous rain for a week!) but you can't book that!
